"Boss, it really is you." Ju Jingbai's lips curled up. "You've actually become the guardian angel of this place. No wonder I couldn't find you every day these past two days. I even thought there was something wrong with the ghost formation I was practicing, and I was teleported to this damn place all by myself. Have you found the other contestants?"

"I found them. I asked them to help set up the scene this time. After helping, they politely withdrew from the competition. They were very considerate."

Ju Jingbai felt something was amiss. After thinking it over carefully, she asked, "Is that so?"

"Yeah." Xu Ge nodded affirmatively and said with a smile, "But shouldn't you excitedly agree to be my girlfriend first?"

Ju Jingbai looked at Xu Ge's annoyed expression and couldn't help laughing: "Wait until we get out."

"So..." Xu Ge looked at Ju Jingbai with a gleam in his eyes.

"So... after we go out, we'll be boyfriend and girlfriend." Ju Jingbai's ears turned a shy pink.

Rose petals fell from the air, fluttering down like a heavy snowfall.

Eye-catching and very beautiful.

The melodious piano played the last note, bringing the event to a successful conclusion.

"I had planned on a kiss, but I didn't expect the final match to turn out like this. I'm not me, and you're not you. There's nothing I can do."

Xu Ge couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He raised his hand and handed the little sheep to Ju Jingbai. He picked up Goudan and looked at him carefully, saying, "This child looks exactly like me."

"Yeah, handsome." Ju Jingbai nodded, rubbed the little lamb in his arms, and praised.

"That's enough! Wake up and see clearly that the child is Qian Minmin and her husband's. How could he possibly look like you two? If you're lying with your eyes open, at least be more reliable! You even politely withdrew from the competition. Xu Ge, ask yourself, doesn't your heart ache?"

"I didn't expect that after I left Douyin, closed Kuaishou, and uninstalled Jinjiang, I still got a mouthful of dog food when I watched a live broadcast."

"Hahaha, Xia Chengxing and the others next door are the ones who really enjoy the dog food. Didn't you see how Xia Chengxing and the others helped Xu Ge set up the confession scene, and then Xu Ge instantly turned his face against them? I think Xia Chengxing has learned to curse with facial expressions."

"Xia Chengxing and the others also want to see Xu Ge's confession, hahahaha!" The comments in the live broadcast room were full of gloating.

Ju Jingbai stretched and found a place to sit down.

Seeing this, Xu Ge sat down next to Ju Jingbai, resting her head on his shoulder, holding the still sleeping Goudan in his arms.

From a distance, the figures looked very close, like family members who had been together for a long time.

"Boss, my mission is to defeat Goudan and rescue the girl. Is your mission the same as mine?"

"It's different. I only have one mission, which is to make the villagers realize their mistakes before the Qixi Festival." Xu Ge said, "Although I have failed the mission, but I know who Goudan is that you want to defeat."

"Who?" Ju Jingbai asked.

"As for me, the guardian god's original name was Qi Goudan. He believed that he could only gain great magical powers by devouring a child with the same name every year. The female tributes were chosen privately by the villagers after they figured out the guardian god's thoughts. The guardian god wanted to eat one more person's soul every few years, so he didn't object." Xu Ge said.

"In this case, wouldn't we be on opposite sides?"

"Yes, but everyone should be on the opposite side. This training ghost formation divides people into six groups. You are a villager, I am the guardian, and the other four are the deceased villagers, the sacrificed girl and Goudan, and the deceased foreign girl." Xu Ge said, "Maybe they want us to restrain each other, but the gap is too big. I found Xia Chengxing and the others on the first day, and after a friendly negotiation, we reached an agreement to help each other."

Ju Jingbai was curious: "Boss, when did you know that I was Qian Minmin?"

"Every night when I go to the village, I see you sneaking out, holding a talisman and looking around." Xu Ge laughed.

"...Oh" From the description, her posture must not be very pretty.

"Actually, when I asked that girl named Orange to go down, I followed her, but you were so busy arguing with someone that you didn't even notice me."

"Really? I'm really mad at the selfishness of the villagers down there." Ju Jingbai had never seen such shameless people in her life. She was unhappy. "And I didn't want to come up to feed the guardian spirit, and they actually said I was selfish. I really wanted to fight just now."

"Then I'll give you a chance?" Xu Ge said.

"What opportunity?" Ju Jingbai asked.

"You don't know my abilities yet, right? Besides making people look better, I also have the ability to send them dreams. The people below are all my followers. I think it's impossible for such a handsome ghost like me to have only one bride. I should have three palaces, six courtyards, and twelve concubines."

"It's not you, it's the guardian angel." Ju Jingbai said coquettishly, with her ponytail on top of her head shaking.

"Yeah, that's right." Xu Ge nodded. Goudan in his arms blew a bubble while sleeping, puff.

On the night of the Qixi Festival, the villagers fell asleep in the hope of having more youthful and beautiful faces the next day.

In their dreams, they repeated the contents of the Tanabata Festival.

But this time, the guardian angel took a fancy to their own relatives.

Those who have girlfriends or wives dream that the guardian angel falls in love with their wives. Those who don’t have wives dream that the guardian angel falls in love with men. Those gossipy old people dream that the guardian angel falls in love with women of their age.

As for the patron saint's love, they saw it in their dreams.

The guardian gods only like to eat people. The riverbanks downstream are full of bones accumulated over the years, which are proof of their harm to people.

And those beautiful women from other places who were married were also dreaming.

They dreamed of the scene where the first village chief made a deal with the dark and scary ghost.

——Do you think appearance is the most important thing?

——Yes, I heard from the girl who came back that being good-looking means being popular outside. Not only can you easily gain people's favor, but it is also easier for you to find a job than others. Some people are willing to please you unconditionally as long as you are good-looking enough.

——Then how about I give you the outstanding appearance of the villagers?

——Guardian God, is there any price to pay?

"Of course there's a price to pay. Aren't those girls who marry here from other places all very beautiful? I'll take their beauty. Remember, the more beautiful girls there are, the more beautiful the people in your village will be, and eventually they'll become more and more beautiful. Also, give me a boy named Goudan every year."

——Are there no other requirements?

——No, is the transaction completed?

——It’s established, it’s established! The village chief’s old voice was filled with joy!
